It's not like that, it is that. Skateboarding is certainly a high art, a physical art like dancing. That's why I got into skating in 96-96. It was because of the whole counter culture, artistic side, the graphics on the boards. It has a sport, competition side to it that has become increasingly dominant agains.

Like a lot of people, I'm sure, I unlocked that Rodney video in THPS 2 & just "well, my life has been altered. " got a board & started learning tricks ASAP. Fucked up my ankles back when I was 23 & had to give it up. Still love it though. Still love watching Rodney vids. I'm dating myself here, but I remember hearing a commentator during a baseball game describe Ken Griffey Jr. as having "the perfect swing - just an extension of himself." That's what watching Rodney parts are like - this beautifully insane run of moves, and like one comment on here said, it's done with the ease of as though he's just on a morning commute. Big "but for me, it was Tuesday" energy but in a nice way. Sorry, I'm loopy - should be asleep. Anyone who reads this, have a great day & if you can: get out and skate! Injuries and all, still have fond memories of just getting out and pushing thru parking lots and such. :)

The Godfather of skateboarding. I've seen a lot of this footage from ON video, but damn is this a good part. It might be favorite from his for the song and the fact that the skating is pretty modern and 30 years old. I came into skating at the tail end of the this 90s, 1st street wave + Golden Era, 1997. I could've been there for more of it. I was skating in the early to mid 90s I was just barely aware of the culture. Only my older neighbor skated (it was extremely rare back then) and I literally took skateboarding books out of the library lol. So, I was aware of Tony Hawk and Rodney as Bone Brigades members. I'm not that old though.

Damn, I just realized his style in this part is amazingly good. I've always been a huge Mullen fan, but he has such an idiosyncratic style that I personally was never super into, although I appreciate it. But his style here is something a guy like me-- who still daydreams about the style of guys like Tom Penny and Kareem Campbell as an old man, haha-- can totally dig; that backside flip at the beginning of his street section is one of the best I've ever seen on video, just an impeccable backside flip. Well, he invented them, so no wonder he'd be the one to show how it should be done. And that first kickflip down the stairs looked super good, too; that was always one of my favorite Mullen tricks because he was never the big stairs or gap dude, but he got extra gnarly on this part. Hard to say if this is my favorite Mullen part because they're all so good, but it might be just on style alone; style is everything in skateboarding, as far as I'm concerned (although tricks are definitely a big part of it too, haha).
